December Update
Not much to report, all going well. I am at the 18 month mark since the operations.
Weight is currently between 65 & 66kgs, feeling great. Still think it was the best thing to do.
Have run into several friends lately that had not seen me for a few years and they were gobsmaked to see this smaller me.
One asked if I had been sick to have lost so much weight. I have only been asked this twice in the last 18 months.
Most people ask how I have done it. I am happy to explain and tell them about the gastric bypass.

August Update
I haven't blogged for a while as there was nothing much to report. Weight is stable at 66kgs.
I recently had to have a laproscopic investigation as I had a severe bout of reflux with sever pain, this was the first episode since the operation. Doctor wanted to investigate to make sure that nothing was wrong. Apparently the intestines can loop around each other and cause pain and reflux.
They didn't find anything wrong, which is good. The reflux might have been caused by something I ate before going to bed ( I did have a couple of chocolate covered peanuts just prior to going to bed). As I haven't had another episode since, they think this might have been the cause.
I have been to a plastic surgeon re having a tummy tuck. Was actually booked in for the 30th August but have had to postpone that until I heal from the laproscope. I am having second thoughts about having it, as I am experiencing a lot of discomfort from this operation. Tummy tuck will be 10 time more painful, not sure I want to go there.

June Update
Now 67.2kgs, slow loss over the last couple of weeks. Doctor doesn't think I will loose much more. I am happy to stay at this weight.
I have been told by a couple of friends that I am a little too thin, I just say thank you. It is marvelous to be told that for the first time in your life.
My mother told me my legs were too skinny, this was funny as she has badged me all my life about being over weight, now I am too skinny.
Off too New Zealand next week for a conference. Looking forward to fitting into airline seat comfortably.
I do feel the cold a lot now, never did before when I had all that fat as insulation.

A little more lost.
I have dropped another 1kg, now down to 67.6kgs.
Visited my surgeon last week, all is good. My nutrition levels are excellent as is my iron count. I do still have to make sure that I eat good quality foods and that protein is the main ingredient of my meals.
Got a referral to a Cosmetic Surgeon to see about having a tummy tuck and boob job. Cost maybe the only factor that might interfere with this happening.
Went to do some painting the other day only to discover that I no longer have any old cloths, all that I had were too big so I gave them away. I had to go purchase some disposable overalls (yes there is such a thing).

Stable Weight
Not much to blog about, my weight is stable at 68kgs. I mostly fit into a size 12 in clothing and I am now a lot more comfortable with my new size. The mental adjustment to this hugh weight loss has been harder than I would have thought it would be.
I love being described as "little" and "skinny".
I have an appointment with my surgeon in early May, at which I am going to ask for a referral to a plastic surgeon to have a tummy tuck and a boob lift. Don't need a size increase just need them uplifted from around my navel to the normal position for boobs.
My grand daughter saw an old picture of me the other day and asked who it was, I told her it was Nanny when she was fat, she is nearly 3, she looked at me funny and then back at the picture, I some how don't think she believed it was me.

Steady as She goes
Not much to report, my weight is steady at around 69kgs.
Went to my nephews wedding last weekend, got a lot of lovely complements from relatives that I hadn't seen for a while.
I have another nephew getting married on April 9th. Looking for a new dress to wear to that one. Tried on a beautiful purple dress yesterday, it was a size 10! Boy did that boost my ego. Haven't bought it yet, taking my daughter-in-law on Saturday to see if she thinks it looks OK.
